much greater vigilence than before. Mrs
Parsons, in talk with q reporter, said:
ssThese men could hare been hanged when
the Jury found them guilty. AT that time tho

the Anarchists, the 4r6siter Zei,r"g, prints
the following editorial on the verdict in
yesterday afternoons issue:
The verdict confirmed. And so II has come
to pass, what was considered impossible the
unheard of
,sThe voice faiters in its attempt to give ex-
preston to it, aud the ink will not flow from
the pen to write Il down
The class malignity OF the Citizens Asso-
citation has won victory over the most evident
4 demands OF humanity.
'.The Supreme Court in Ottawa, the legal
instrument Of the caritalistic reign, has this
morning affirmed the outrageous verdict OF the
first Instance, which decided that seven OF our
best comrades shall safer the death OF martyrs
for the cause OF the laboring people, and that
the eighth shall serve aiteen-year sentence
at the pcnitontiary.
.Not that they shall be punished for the
death Of the policemen that fell on the Hay
market The spirit Of lattcr-day progress II
is that shall be stranguIated uron the gallows.
"'fheir blood come oyer us and our children,
! is the answer that = returned by the ruling
class TO all OF our represcntations-the same
answer which once the Eharisee shouted TO the
followers OF Jesus Christ, of Nazareth.
But We the followers OF Spies and his fell
Iow-sufferers, win not at an improper time in
| woke revenge, but do every thing that remains
for US toto
..The LAT yers Tot the defense will demand a

quested 10 postpone The execution. In the
meanwhile steps must be taken 10 bring the
case before the Supreme Court OF the
United States, and rny one OF the Supreme
Judges will be asked 70 grant a supersedeas
an order for q reprevo.
"We hope, in spite OF all this. And eycn 4
this hope should prove false one, WI still viii
